You are passionate about text-to-speech AI driven by a desire to make content universally accessible and breaking the frontiers of new tech.

You are a highly motivated and driven individual with a strong work ethic. Our team is committed to going the extra mile, even if it means working long nights and weekends to achieve our goals.

You strive for excellence in every aspect of work, consistently taking ownership of your outcomes and overdelivering on goals.

Have a humble attitude and are eager to learn whatever it might take to help your team and our customers succeed.

What you bring
